We're be around to provide support helping you get setup with MediaWiki, discuss solutions and code review if needed.
Fixing templates
Dark mode requires change on certain wikis and we need help from template editors to fix some of these. Fixes will expedite the release for your favorite project.
Some guidance is provided on: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Recommendations_for_night_mode_compatibility_on_Wikimedia_wikis
